Gary Kirsten has proved to be a coach with a golden touch, firstly with India and now with South Africa.
He took India to number one in Test cricket and they won the 2011 World Cup in his last assignment with the world's most populous cricket nation.
In less than two years with South Africa he has seen the country of his birth become entrenched as the best in the world in Tests. Now there is the challenge of forging a dominant one-day team.
"We would like to perform at a higher level than we have in one-day cricket," Kirsten said as he looked ahead to a three-match series against New Zealand, starting in Paarl on Saturday.
"We've been okay but we haven't been outstanding."
Being "okay" is not good enough for Kirsten.
"We believe that we are capable of being a unit that can really perform at one-day level," he said.
